TIL LSD is non-addictive, is not known to cause brain damage, has extremely low toxicity relative to dose, there have been no documented deaths from an overdose, it is physiologically well tolerated and there is no evidence for long-lasting physiological effects on the brain or other organs.

First time I tripped on what I believe was LSD, though most people have no idea what they're really taking it's not like a doctor prescribed it or we got it from a legit business. It was strips of paper in foil that we got from some asian guys that we met in a Toys R Us who claimed it was "double dipped white blotter".

I took two tabs and after about two hours it kicked in. It was enjoyable at first, me and my two friends first started laughing a lot for no reason, it was hard not to laugh.

Paintings on the wall were coming out of the wall and moving back into the wall. My cat froze in my lap like he was stiff as a board and I set him on the floor. My friends who were also tripping stood there frozen in the room and time seemed to slow.

Then it got weird I realized I controlled everything. I would think and my friends would walk or talk like I was controlling them and I realized I was God and had just forgotten that I controlled everything. That was pretty terrifying like I wasn't supposed to remember that I was God because if I remember then the reality of the world that I had created comes crashing down.

I came down a little from that and I went into the living room. It was before Christmas and the Christmas tree and fireplace were amazing visually. It was night and we went walking and came down more.

Two hours after taking it we were giggling and seeing visuals for about two hours then we were uncomfortably high for about two hours then we were back to enjoyably high for two hours then we came down.

It took a while to shake the experience of thinking I was God. I took what I believed was LSD a few more times after that and none of the trips were as intense as the first time, though they were pleasant with lots of visuals but not so much mind fuck. It was from a different source though and I have no idea what I was really taking or what dosage really.
